Gottfried triumphs at the Manchester Mini Masters
Minigolf round-up
Luton's Richard Gottfried won the inaugural Manchester Mini Masters minigolf tournament at the nine-hole Championship MiniatureGolf course at Playgolf Manchester on Saturday.
The competition was played over 27 holes and, in a field of 12 players, Richard won with a three-round total of 81 (-24) after scores of 26, 27, and 28.
He said: "It feels great to be the Manchester Mini Masters champion and to win by five clear shots is brilliant.
"The course is incredibly tough with some tricky water hazards but is great fun to play – the practice I put in on the Friday paid off.
"I am looking forward to defending my title next year and wearing the Championship MiniatureGolf winner's shirt with pride."
Emily Gottfried was also in action, finishing sixth after rounds of 33, 29, and 33 for a total of 95 (-10).
The Manchester Mini Masters is Richard's fourth tournament win since his British Minigolf Association debut in April 2007.
He is currently ranked 16th of the 66 competitors in the BMGA Order of Merit Rankings, while Emily is 42nd.
Richard will next be competing in the BMGA British Matchplay Championships and BMGA British Masters in Southend at the end of April, followed by the BMGA English Open at Wroxham Barns, Norfolk in May.
